dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in elderly patients by comparing them with propensity score-matched age-groups. Methods: Patients who underwent RIRS to treat upper urinary tract stone disease at seven centers were included in the study and were divided into four groups. The age intervals of the patients in group 1, group 2, group 3, and group 4 were 18-29 years old, 30-49 years old, 50-64 years old, and over 65 years old, respectively. Propensity score matching analysis was used to homogenize the groups in terms of demographic and clinical properties. Operative results, preoperative complications, perioperative complications, postoperative complications, duration of hospitalization time, and stone-free status were compared between groups. Results: A total of 1,017 patients were included in the study. There were 69 (9.9%) patients in group 1, 324 (46.5%) in group 2, 217 (31.1%) in group 3, and 87 (12.5%) in group 4 after propensity score matching. The operation time and postoperative complication rates were significantly different among groups, whereas the hospitalization time, perioperative complication rates, and stone-free status were similar. The operation time was significantly higher in patients over 65 years old (p = 0.001). The postoperative complication rates were significantly higher in group 1 with Clavien I-II complication predominance (p = 0.003). Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of RIRS did not change with aging, and RIRS was an effective option for the treatment of upper urinary system stones in elderly patients.
